The Pentagram map in higher dimensions and KdV flows

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

We extend the definition of the pentagram map from 2D to higher dimensions and describe its integrability properties for both closed and twisted polygons by presenting its Lax form. The corresponding continuous limit of the pentagram map in dimension dd is shown to be the (2,d+1)(2,d+1)-flow of the KdV hierarchy, generalizing the Boussinesq equation in 2D.
